I have been to two universities. One taught us basic programming on Turbo C, an the other one taught us assembly on TASM. These shits were already obsolete in the 90s; I remember that Turbo C even used conio.h instead of stdio.h because C still wasn't standardized back then. What is the reason for using this stuff in education in the current year? I can't think of any advantage.

For education obviously. If you don't want to learn the way they want to teach you, teach yourself O Wise One.

Why would you want to teach X with tools that have a vast difference with the ones currently used for X? This is like training with a bicycle for a motorcycle driving test.

We used Turbo C++ too with their stupid headers. My uni was a total microcuck maker anyway so i left for good.

Listen assholes, unlike your brand loyalty threads and fetishist circlejerks, this here is a relevant issue about the state of current tech. I better have a few well thought replies by the time I wake up in about 10 hours, otherwise I will post images of anime girls biting fish everyday until you like them. Bump.

I thought that too. Later I had understood that the shit doesn't matter. They teach fundamental things which are mostly technology-agnostic. SICP for example is made of Scheme. It's convenient to them. You should be happy that you touched the history, it's like to work on a real PDP-11. You'll be full of hipster shit like Rust and Go after the university, don't complain about that.

Turbo Pascal is still pretty cool.

That's a perfectly logical thing to do especially when practicing tight cornering

Because it doesn't matter; the fundamentals of programming haven't changed. Why are you even at university if you just want to be instructed in 'industry standard tools' (read: the university took a bribe).
At the start of my C classes the professor handed out Emacs cheat-sheets, there was much groaning about ancient text editors. It was quite funny.

Of course they will groan, why your shitty professor wants to condenm them to a life of finger pain and bloat?
